Owl City - Fireflies [Official Music Video] HD

[neocrusadern]

it could also be about how he wonders what is happening and what he is missing when he sleeps, many things happen. This is inspired by his constant insomnia

[ColonelMcKnight]

NICE SONG

[HTTIME21]

HOW OLD IS THIS GUY THATS SINGING???

[partyfoul30]

this song always cheers me up no matter what's going on, ahh, to be a kid again :)

[MikeTerela]

This is about missing the freedom and love of your childhood, but still being a little bit childish, hence still keeping a few fireflies in a jar. Also, the sleep he keeps mentioning is the seriousness of adulthood, and being awake is childhood. Or the other way around, I don't know for sure.

[lord2313]

what happens is that society thinks that when we reach the age of 15/16 we must leave all of our childish things behind and we must stop laughing and be all serious and stuff...i gotta say that that is the most stoopid thing ever!!!!if we remain young our soul can travel way beyond this world, we are able to see the beauty in things and belive in the purity of things and ppl, we need to follow his advice:stay young as you grow old.

[MidnightAngel81]

What the hell can ANYONE say other than this song is amazing? This reminds me of being a kid and everything is happy and you don't have to worry about school, drama or whatever makes your life harder.

[isaacleedrums]

totally!

[blackangel9216]

i luv this song nd video 2222...........

his voice is grt 111111111

[Warriors4Fireheart]

This song is about a grown man who wishes/dreams of becoming a kid again. It has a purpose.

[bradpalms81]

i would like an organ that had a magic button on it too.. this song is about nothing

[imonars]

[Soraleonhart14]

[BerrySexyG]

lol

[roshi411]

haha, anyone heard death cab for cutie's new album...?

[whitefangv]

Why does this guy keep changing bands? They all have the same electro pop vibe.

[PandaMatrixComplex]

I SEE BRUM! i love this song ^_^

[swesome0]

it also means he cant get to sleep because he has insomnia in real life. and during the nights when he didn't sleep he would write music about calm things that could help him relax.

[1fredluver]

that does make sense my explanation and yours are really good. i love this song

[1fredluver]

i think this song really means that dreams have endless and wild possibilites. and this time he cant get himself to sleep everything comes alive when he does and the earth turns slowly because he doesnt want to miss a thing. that he is a kid at heart dreaming of fire flies and he hates goodbyes because he has to wakeup from the dream. i love this song, because its weird and good

[fmxhero01]

i think u got it :)

[1fredluver]

thx i try to read in between the lines. i love this song and its meaning. and the band is great live. thx again

[fmxhero01]

ur welcome :)

[FOrizzle2012]

aw he is amazing :) it does seem sad though doesnt it?

[garnetavi]

I wanted to watch this video cause it's rly nice, but those horrible red and blue bars were really distracting. What's the point of having HD if you can't full screen it without hideous advertisements? Completely unnecessary (and I own the CD so don't say I'm not supporting the artist).

[natgirl99]

you can turn off the anotations by clicking on the button at the right-hand bottom of the video screen...you'll get rid off the red and blue bars! FYI :)

[aviator2k9]

I love this song :') So random,yet for some reason,So sad :/

[1fredluver]

exactly i feel there is a message behind it, but i dont know maybe he is saying he doesnt want to go to sleep because the world is happening when he is. he cant get himself to sleep and he day dreams about bugs i guess coming alive, i guess he just weird but i love it. i love the part he says i hate goodbyes.

[aviator2k9]

Yeh,Good Explanation :)

[1fredluver]

Thx, i had two explanations i just sumed it up to one. i love this song

[aviator2k9]

Me too man ;)

[theupdate101]

this song kicks so much ass! fuck yea!

[cutefox266]

WHOA WEIRD FEELING IN TUMMY

[PrincessJenny95]

♥ LOVE THIS SONG A LOT!!!!!!!!!! ♥

[bamababy156]

OMG I LUV OWL CITY!!!! and this song but people dont judge them just be cuz if this song.....

[Shing02tunes]

Hello everyone, I know you're all asking what the meaning of the song is, and I'm sorry because I can't tell you. That's for Adam to know, not you :].

What I can tell you, is that Adam Young ( owl city ) has insomnia, and most of his songs are inspired by daydreams or normal dreams he has. NOW STOP ARGUING AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!!! :)

[th3st4r]

rofl

[Doctorwhorox123]

awesome vid i luv his other songs too

[kittybaker3]

[sweetceed]

[music4ever22zb]

[musiqman09]

Who cares about the message?

The music is awesome and I'm luvin' it!!!

People loves it! No wonder it hit number one on Billboard!!!

[PacketMonger]

Adam Young was recently on open house party talking about the song. The song was inspired about a time when he woke up during the night and could not get back to sleep. Essentially, his songs are about nothing significant in a sense.

[IrememberDelirium]

Maybe it's about how when you have insomina your mind goes sort of weird - like you want to sleep but you're mind is flying off and the way you think sort of changes. Who cares anyways? It's still a real cool song.

[bigjonasbrosfan]

you people are eitgher retarded or just not looking..He says what the song means like 3 times XD

"Nothing is as ever as it seems"

[norskyver]

There is no message. This is just some EMO guy who tried rhyming every word in the alphabet. Very cheesy.

[KurtisKurtisKurtis94]

Does it have to have a message? erm no theres no rules to making a song

[softballchic5012]

how can u tell if he's emo

[JABUUTY671]

The message is:

Not everything is what it seems.

[Blondie1247]

AH-MAZING!!!! =D

[ddbead]

My 8 year old daughter loves this song. We listen to it every morning on the way to school. Nice and gentle song . . she says it make her think nice thoughts and see pretty things in her imagination. Wow . . when's the last time you heard that from a child with today's music?

[789MUSICguy]

this video is amazingly simple but really cool....anyway great song.

[IMakeYourVideosHD]

good song terrible quality not even HD

[wyspers117]

This actually one of the better Owl City music videos on youtube. Props to shing, this is by far the best I have seen thus far.

[IMakeYourVideosHD]

If you want to see a good one watch mine!

[christprp]

I first heard this song going to gym on star94 and i thought it was pretty cool...but im one of those ppl who never get hidden messages so i dont know what he's talking about and I wish I could have seen him full face=)

[fuzzypen56]

The message behind the story is that like he belives in a lot of things and.....actualy....u know what there really is not a message in it it's just a beautifal song don't u think?

[zombies67]

Wonderful song so inspiring!

[MastinShowByUs]

[MrsKevinJonas01]

[yam250raptor1]

im not gay but it is a good song

[Knife99]

I'm sorry but liking a song does not make you gay.

I like Womanizer, and I'm straight.

It's what the song does that makes it sound good to you. It can also have meaning.

[cpapa777]

same here. straight as an arrow. still a good song

[abenguyen]

if this was in real HD then I'd sit and watch it

[slackerfish19]
